New Bathroom Addition

As most of you know, I'm moving into an off-campus apartment next year. It's a 3 bedroom, 4 bath set up. Each resident has their own bathroom and then there's an extra bathroom that we're calling the hostess one. It's a great addition to have and I'm excited to have a bathroom to shop for! Last year, we had boring sliding glass ones and my suitemates took over buying stuff for the bathroom which was very nice of them. My mom and I have slowly been picking up things here and there for the house next year, which included bedding, some cups and plates, and towels. Nothing too too major, but I found a shower curtain that I think I'm going to order. I've been looking online at personalized ones and I cannot believe how expensive they are. Some are upwards of $200! That shocks me!! Now I know I could go over to Target and get a plastic one for like $25, but I found one that I love from PBTeen:
How much fun would that be in a bathroom?! My bedding is Tommy Hilfiger (I'll write another post about that if you all would want to see it...) that my mom picked up and it's BIG pink and green circular paisleys with some delicate white embroidery. The green in that matches perfectly with the green in the photo! They also have a pink which looks pretty close to the pink on the bedding, but the green would be pretty fun too since I don't have too much green. I'll have to talk to my mom and see if she likes this too (or if we could find another alternative somewhere without having to order online) and snag one for myself! It's going to be my new bathroom project for my apartment.

Any homeowners out there who have similar bathroom stuff? I'd love some ideas!! Thanks!

I spent most of today looking at stuff for my first 'big girl' apartment that I'll be moving into in January. It's so exciting! My mom and I disagreed on whether or not a margarita set was necessary.

I love the curtain! I think it will be cute.

Oh what fun! I remember my 1st dorm room while away at boarding school...my 1st college dorm room...moving into my sorority house....moving to my 1st apartment...into my 1st house...oh, if I knew then what I know now!

Have fun decorating!

With your taste it will turn out fabulous! Post photos when you get back to school! Too be young again!

BTW...I love the monogram idea, otherwise there are some cute lilly pulitzer shower curtains out there, as well as over at Ballard Designs. ;)

I am living with my brother in the Fall and I am going to have to get new bathroom decor, because I don't think my pink heart bathroom decor will cut it!

We have the same bedding I think!!! Except I don't think I'll be using it next year :-(

I love the monogrammed shower curtain! That is lovely and a great idea. It sounds like so much fun to be looking around for all of these new apartment items!

I have a monogramed shower curtain as well! I actually got a nice white one from target and took it to a local store to embroider. It turned out beautiful and I got to pick the font I wanted! I did a blog on it a while ago. Here it is!
